The computer system of the present invention utilizes an adsorption element in combination with a portable electronic device and an external electronic device, and does not use a conventional snap mechanism, thereby saving assembly/separation operation time and improving ease of use. The carrier of the external electronic device is hidden in the recessed structure of the base, and the bearing member is not exposed at any angle with respect to the rotation of the base, that is, the height of the carrier does not exceed the depth of the recessed structure (from the side view of the computer system) And the front view direction), therefore, the magnetic component group can be used to attach the front and back sides of the portable electronic device to the external electronic device in parallel, so as to reduce the volume of the computer system and facilitate carrying. It is worth mentioning that the special feature of the present invention is to replace the conventional configuration with the support of the variable structure to prevent the portable electronic device from being tilted by the external force to drive the external electronic device to fall. External electronic device uses carrier to support portable electronic equipment When the angle between the portable electronic device and the external electronic device is changed, the rotation of the carrier member can drive the sliding member to translate relative to the base, so that the supporting structure of the sliding member extends out of the base, thereby changing the position of the center of gravity of the external electronic device. Stable support for portable electronic devices. Therefore, the structure of the external electronic device is light (because the weight is not required), and meets the needs of light and easy to carry consumers.

In addition, the external electronic device utilizes a dual pivot mechanism to achieve the purpose of slowing the vibration of the portable electronic device. The first pivot mechanism of the external electronic device is the main torque generating source, and the second pivot mechanism generates the auxiliary torque, and is mainly used to slow the vibration of the portable electronic device. The second pivot mechanism is an optional accessory. The external electronic device uses a combination of a positioning post and a limiting slot, and a combination of the first adsorption element and the second adsorption element to fix the portable electronic device. In particular, the direction of the cylinder of the positioning column is different from the magnetic direction of the adsorption element, so that the bonding strength between the portable electronic device and the carrier can be greatly improved by means of structural interference. The carrier member uses the first pivot mechanism and the second pivot mechanism to generate stable rotation relative to the base, and the sliding member limits the sliding direction of the base relative to the base by the sliding seat body and the supporting structure, so the external electronic device can have stable operation and smooth operation. performance. The external electronic device may further comprise a plurality of decorative cover plates disposed at the joint between the sliding member and the base or at the joint between the carrier and the base to achieve the purpose of concealing dust.

Compared with the prior art, the carrier of the external electronic device of the present invention is hidden in the base and has a better design; the positioning and the adsorption component are combined with the portable electronic device and the external electronic device to improve assembly/disassembly. Speed and convenience; and when the portable electronic device adjusts the viewing angle, the position of the center of gravity of the external electronic device is changed by using the movable sliding member. Therefore, the external electronic device and the related computer system of the present invention are not only lightweight, but also provide The user's preferred operating environment can effectively solve the disadvantages of positioning and unsightly of the conventional fixing device.
